Does Iran recognize US copyright law? If not I think you can probably
do whatever you want with Fedora and still be on the right side of the
only law that presently applies to you!

Red Hat is a US based company though. Knowingly sending software to a
nation under a trade sanction is illegal, not for our Iranian colleague
but for Red Hat. Just like trying to find an American car in Cuba made
after 1959.
